A truly tasteless way to lose weight: the tongue patch
Posted by kent on September 24th, 2009
There's a new weight-loss method in town (if your town happens to be Long Beach, California). Dr. Nikolas Chugay's tongue miracle patch seems more reminiscent of medieval torture than anything that should come out of a medical office, but ten patients so far have undergone the treatment. The patch is sewn directly onto the tongue making eating completely unpleasant. A liquid diet replaces all the solid food you won't want to eat.
Or you can check out our reviews of much more palatable, surgery-free diet plans that actually focus on foods you can eat. Some even deliver meals straight to you.

There is no promotional code necessary to capitalize on this offer. Simply click any Weight Watchers link on NextAdvisor.com.
As summer comes to a close and autumn approaches, it's time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on goals. To learn more about Weight Watchers or other diet programs, see our reviews and comparison chart.
Does Jenny Craig have a weekend off program?
Posted by Caitlin on August 10th, 2009
The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question. To maintain the integrity of the original question, we do not edit or change reader questions in any way.
Q: Do you have a weekend off program? What types of meals do you have? I am interested in a 4-week program. Two of us would join if the price is right.
A: Jenny Craig does not explicitly offer a weekends off option. However, should you decide to sign up for the Jenny Craig program, your program director will work with you to create a fully customized plan based on your goals, needs, and lifestyle. The Jenny Craig program is flexible enough to allow you to prepare your own meals and eat at restaurants, so if you prefer not to eat prepackaged Jenny's Cuisine meals on the weekends, that could be incorporated in your customized plan. Jenny Craig does not automatically reship food, so if you do not actually use your entire four week supply within four week, it shouldn't cause any problems.
Jenny Craig offers more than 80 meals and snacks, which are chosen specifically to meet your weight loss goals, with calorie levels ranging from 1,200 to 2,300 calories per day. Jenny's Cuisine is low in fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber. Meals are packaged into single portions, to help you learn to properly regulate portion sizes. With the Jenny Craig program, you'll be eating three Jenny's Cusine meals and one Jenny's Cuisine snack every day, as well as fresh fruit, vegetables, and other grocery store additions. Meal and snack options include cookies, cake, meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, and even cheesecake. You'll have the freedom to create your own menu or rely on preplanned menus.

$350,000 for acai berry drink customers
Posted by Caitlin on June 26th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago, Joe blogged about the acai berry and the outlandish claims made about its supposed health benefits. Yesterday, Arizona's Attorney General announced a settlement with Central Coast Nutraceuticals, an Arizona based company that markets an acai drink. The company has agreed to pay a record $1,375,000 to settle a lawsuit over their deceptive practices. $350,000 will be distributed among consumers who were scammed or misled by Central Coast Nutraceuticals. The Better Business Bureau received over 2200 complaints about the company in one year. Many of these complaints came from customers who attempted to take advantage of a "risk-free trial offer" and were charged for other products and services that they did not request. Their calls and emails were ignored when they attempted to contact Central Coast Nutraceuticals regarding these charges.

Mandatory calorie information at chain restaurants?
Posted by Caitlin on June 16th, 2009
Several states and large cities have already passed laws requiring restaurant chains to display calorie counts on their menus. While the impacted business owners have protested against these laws in the past, the restaurant industry now supports a bill that would mandate calories on menus nationwide. The Menu Education and Labeling (MEAL) act is sponsored by Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and Democrat Senators Tom Carper and Tom Harkin and is backed by the National Restaurant Association and National Council of Chain Restaurants, as well as several health groups, including the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association. The senators stated that under the proposed law, consumers would also be able to request other nutrition information, such as fat, sodium, and carbohydrate contents. While the majority of restaurants would naturally prefer not to list calorie information at all, a national bill would at least impose consistency on the labeling system, as opposed to a series of state and local bills with differing requirements.
The Menu Education and Labeling act would, of course, be great news for dieters. Many diet programs emphasize calorie counting or following a specific nutrition regime, and dining at restaurants can sometimes derail a strict diet plan. Having nutrition information available would certainly help those who are watching their weight overcome the challenge of integrating restaurant meals into their plans.
Many of the diet programs reviewed on NextAdvisor.com provide a variety of tools to help count calories and track weight loss progress, as well as tips on making healthy choices when dining out. For more information about online diet services, see our reviews and comparison charts.
